The Anfield Index Podcast is back but this time with Gags Tandon as host and he's got more of a global feel to the podcast. Joining him this week are Kaylon from AI Podcast South Africa, Leroy from the Malaysian AI Podcast, Srikanth from the Indian AI Podcast and Jason from AI Podcast USA.

The guys talk about the Stoke game, the relief of finally achieving 3 points. The tactics of the game employed by Rodgers, the defence, Glen Johnson, Kolo Toure and they discuss what's lacking in attack.

Pressing Actions return with some interesting results!

The focus then turns to relationships on the field and what's lacking all over the pitch - and has Rodgers made the recent changes because of the lack of relationships built in the team?

Nick Truss returns as host of this podcast which gives the writers of AnfieldIndex.com a chance to get their views across. Nick is joined by Ryan McTernan, Zak Forster and Neil Patterson for this episode.

The lads discuss the Ludogorets draw and then have been set questions by the rest of the writers in the Anfield Index Whatsapp group.

- What horror movie best describes our season?

- If Lovren, gerrard, skrtel and glen were injured suspended what would be their positions in the playing XI?

- Would Johnson make a good porn actor? If so what role?

- Who the writers would have as assistant manager,who they'd have as a captain, and who they'd sell out of Gags Tandon, Dave Hendrick and John Ritchie?

- Which of the seven deadly sins in BR guilty of?

- Ask the panel what would you do if you were BR and drop kicking Johnson isn't an option

- If you were to hold a dinner party for Rodgers and Gerrard. What would you cook and why?

Why the central defence struggles: a lack of protection in front and behind them, leaving them in a constant sense of positional limbo. The attacking limitations of Moreno and Manquillo. The lack of coaching time available to Rodgers. Lallana needs a free role. And finally... a brilliant story from Mihail about three generations supporting Liverpool in communist Bulgaria. It is worth the wait!

The original three musketeers are back with John Ritchie, host, Dave Hendrick and Gags on the show.

The three cover the Crystal Palace game and cover the issues in the current squad. The questions are asked as to what the problem is? Is there a way forward for him without any help? What sort of help does he need and what could FSG do?

What do Liverpool need to do now to qualify for the Champions League from this position?

The significance of the trip to defending Bulgarian champs Ludogorets is unpacked by host Marco Lopes, @MmedeBeauvoir, @Hari_Sethi, and @JasonRoberts21 for the latest episode of the the Anfield Index Champions League Preview Show.

It’s a sobering and tough discussion asking questions about the team’s current mood, earning Champions League football with SAS but playing it without them, and the need for Brendan Rodgers to back the swagger and man up.

Joining Dan this week are Paul Riley (@footballfactman) from the Different Game blog (https://differentgame.wordpress.com/) and Paul Power(@counterattack9), data scientist with Prozone. The lads analyse how good Chelsea are this season, as well as the likely top 4 and relegation finishers. The debate focuses on how we can assess individual performance within a fluid team framework.

The Anfield Index Podcast is a year old and episode 50 is here! John Ritchie returns to host with LFC Day Tripper Phil Casey, debutants Jason Roberts and Simon Brundish. Simon Brundish is Sports Scientist and UEFA B coach so we'll be getting some interesting thoughts on the Sturridge injury from him.

The lads discuss:

- Liverpool's position, is it really that bad?

- Sturridge's injury: What this means for us going forward with Simon giving his views.

The reaction to Henderson's performance for England. The likely outcome of the Gerrard contract negotiations. The impact of the now delayed return of Daniel Sturridge. The non-prediction non-existent preview section for the upcoming matches. The hysterical reaction to Liverpool's form. The irrelevance of winning the League Cup.
